Following the hugely successful introduction of finger food within the company’s flexible multi-portion Crown Choice offering earlier this year, Anglia Crown has developed an individual meal version for its Crown Advantage range.

Anglia Crown has won a five-year contract with facilities service provider ISS Healthcare, in a deal worth an estimated £30m.

The company has been working with ISS Healthcare since 2002 and the new contract will see it supply meals to more than 20 ISS Healthcare operated sites across the country.

As part of the deal Anglia Crown will supply its chilled and frozen prepared meals to hospitals including the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Kingston Hospital and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, London.

Anglia Crown is pleased to announce it will be launching a brand-new Crown Choice range of finger foods at this year’s Hospital Caterers Association (HCA) Leadership and Development Forum in Belfast (6-7 April).

The range aims to encourage greater independence for patients, particularly those with dementia.

It features more than 50 dishes, from soups which can be consumed from a mug to main meals and desserts cut into manageable pieces to support patient groups who struggle to use cutlery.
